So. Tired.

I am exhausted, and I'm not sure why. I spoke to someone in the ID department about my portfolio and resume and it went OK, but I was hoping for more feedback about how to improve everything so that I can make a good impression on scary professionals and grad school when I graduate in December, only three months away! Instead I got, "Take it easy, get a (non-design!) job and then go to grad school in a few years." I think that really helped to kill the momentum I've had lately. Hopefully it will back tomarrow or some time soon. I need to keep working. Grad school applications are due SO SOON—first week of Novemeber. I want to apply for 3-5 schools. And I need all the luck I can get to reach that goal!

I also had the same talk about how my execution never lives up to its potential. Somehow I need to change this fact about myself in the next THREE MONTHS.

I would like to think that I wasn't being discouraged because my work was poor ...

Later this week, my three-color screenprinting project—the first multi-seperation design I've done yet. I'm thinking a black crown with a background of a field of flames.
